WARBIRD RADIO – Museum of Aviation Director, Ken Emery and EAA’s Chris Henry join Matt Jolley on this episode with a look at the Museum of Aviation’s B-17 restoration. Hear the inspiring back story of how this aircraft came to its new home and much more.

WARBIRD RADIO – Chris Henry is the Museum Program Coordinator for the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in Oshkosh, Wisconsin and he’s joining Matt Jolley on this episode of Warbird Radio LIVE! One of his principal duties is reuniting World War II veterans and their families with the aircraft they flew in combat. Over the years, Chris has developed a wonderful presentation on the B-17 that details stories that have come forward from the veterans he reunites with the B-17. Chris has made the slides available from his presentation for tonight’s broadcast.

FYI – if you’d like to see this presentation in person, Chris is scheduled to give it at the Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio during the B-17 Memphis Belle’s official installment. Talk about an honor! As always, we’ll be taking your calls and questions, so please call in and join the conversation. Thanks for listening!

WARBIRD RADIO – In this month’s Wings Over New Zealand LIVE Show host Dave Homewood is talking with special guest and former Warbird Radio show host Chris Henry. Dave and Chris are both passionate about recording interviews with veterans and the people who were there when history was being made. Chris works for the Experimental Aircraft Association and he runs the EAA Timeless Voices of Aviation programme, in which veterans and pioneers of aviation tell their stories and memories for Chris’s camera, and the films are made available through the internet. Chris is also very involved with the EAA’s B-17 and he’s been responsible for getting many veterans up for flights in that wonderful old WWII bomber.”
